55 of Figs. 1 and 4.; In the lower part oi: the space between Fig. 6 is a horizontal section on the line the side members is a grate or fuel basket,

55 6+6 of Fig. 4; which extends from one of said side members to the other and rests on lugs, C formed on the inner face of eachside member. i; binding bolt, 13?, extends horizontally through the side members and through the forward part of the base of the grate, C, whereby the side members are held against the ends of the grate.

At the upper corners and at the lower rear corner, each intermediate member and each side member is provided with sockets, A the sockets on meeting faces of said members being in alignment with each other. Dowels or key members, A extend from one of said sockets into the other, whereby said upright members hold each other against movement parallel to the others of said members.

Thus the intermediate upright members. the grate, and the side members are bound together to form a rigid structure. Said structure is to be see on the hearth and its rear and sides and upper part enclosed in masonry, excepting that a flue is to extend from the upper part of the'structure upward through the masonry, as will be described further on.

The lower ends and the upper ends, and the rear faces of the intermediate members are even with the corresponding parts of the side members; but only the upper part of the front faces of the intermediate members extend forward far enough to be even with the front faces of the side members. From approximately midway between the upper and lower ends of the structure, the intermediate members receoe from the front to make room for the grate or basket, C.

Each side face of each intermediate member is provided with a flue recess or channel, B, which extends upward from the tire-space through the upper face of said member. The two recesses on the two meeting faces of meeting members together form line having a cross section twice as large as the cross section of one of said. recesses. The upper end of each of said recesses is narrow or throat-form, while the remainder of said recess is relatively wider. the forward part being bounded by the upright flange, 1. Opposite the lower end of said flange, a forward deflecting part. 13 extends obliquely forward and upward from the rear of the intermediate member toward the flange, 13, whereby said part, B is well exposed to the heat of the products of combustion and also defleets the combustion products against the flanges, T3 whereby, said flanges are well exposed to the heat of the products of combustion. Below the upper end of the recess, B of each intermediate member is a rearward deflecting member, B which extends obliuuely downward and rearward, whereby the products of combustion are required to more rearward and then upward, before reaching the outlet to the recess. Thus the products of combustion are retarded and euliicient contact made with all parts of the intermeziliate members to impart heat to sa' 7 members and aoapt said members for radiation of heat into the space forward of the structure.

Between each side member and the adjacent intermediate member, the flue will have the cross section of only one channel. or recess, 13.

The chimney flue (not shown) meets the upper ends of the tines formed by the pairs of recesses or channels, B.

The structure thus described. is; adapted to operate without the use of water.

in the form illustrated by Figures 8 to i inclusive the exterior shapes of the inter mediate members and the side membe the grate are the same as in the preceding; figures; but said members are hollow and connected with each other for the circulation of water to be heated and used for heat radiation from coils of pipe or other forms of radiator structures.

in this second form, the key members are tubular slip pples, A, th se nipples o2 substituted 101' the dowels, is? of the prece ing; form. Thus communication is formed between the several upright members and the side members.
